ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Meow Wolf, the innovative and immersive arts and entertainment company, has joined forces with New Mexico United, the beloved professional soccer team, in a groundbreaking lifetime partnership that will redefine the boundaries of creativity and sports collaboration.

Announced at United’s electrifying victory over Sacramento last Saturday, this historic collaboration brings together two powerhouses in their respective industries - Meow Wolf renowned for its awe-inspiring and interactive art experiences, and New Mexico United known for its passionate fanbase and commitment to community engagement.

With this lifetime partnership, Meow Wolf will be the official front-of-jersey sponsor of New Mexico United’s home kit in perpetuity. The teams will synergize their shared values of creativity, inclusivity, and community development to create extraordinary experiences both on and off the field.

As part of this groundbreaking agreement, Meow Wolf and New Mexico United will work collaboratively on community-driven initiatives and outreach programs to empower local artists, athletes, and underprivileged youth, investing in the future of New Mexico.

The lifetime partnership between Meow Wolf and New Mexico United is set to kick off with a series of exciting events and installations during the upcoming season.
